Here we have <em>Autocar</em> making an unforeseen comparison: the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gt-r/">Nissan GT-R</a> against the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpina+b6/">Alpina B6</a> at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.<br />
<br />
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.</p>

<p>The results are lopsided, and so is the way the winner was chosen. Sutcliffe's still fun to watch, though, and you'll find him in action in the video <a href="/2013/05/24/2013-nissan-gt-r-and-2013-alpina-b6-mix-it-up-on-track-and-stree/#continued">below</a>.</p><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/24/2013-nissan-gt-r-and-2013-alpina-b6-mix-it-up-on-track-and-stree/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/05/24/2013-nissan-gt-r-and-2013-alpina-b6-mix-it-up-on-track-and-stree/">2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Fri, 24 May 2013 19:59:00 EST.
